ADVANTAGE STEEL SUMMER 2019 | 21 In addition, senior-level guests from engineering consultancies Stantec, RJC, and Steel Centre member DIALOG, joined Ron at a special lunchtime panel session. The group of engineering all-stars spoke to the Steel Centre and other structural engineering students about the challenges and realities of managing a consultancy. This sort of information is not part of the general curriculum, but is immensely useful as students graduate. Many find themselves with questions about the real-world situations they will face in their career development. Ron’s depth of knowledge, combined with that of local experts, provided a complete view into the complexities and excitement of managing an engineering consultancy. The visit has sparked a new relationship between MKA and the University of Alberta, which will certainly be of value to students. Steel Centre students rated the SuperTour very highly, saying that it gave them a new perspective on how engineers work with others to complete complex projects and has inspired them to consider the many applications of steel construction in their future work. The CISC Steel Centre is committed to discovering and creating unconventional and transformational educational opportunities for students that are not part of any traditional degree program by remaining true to one of its stated core values to “challenge traditional boundaries.” AS Built to last.
